Kern Family’s Electric Bill Slashed by 65%

residential solar energy
For this stunning Novato residence, design was a key factor. In order to maintain the high aesthetics of the property, and also reach the energy goals and optimal performance, SolarCraft designed a system featuring low-profile Sharp panels with Enphase micro-inverters. A typical system features strings of panels connected to one inverter. Enphase microinverters optimize each panel’s performance greatly reducing impacts of shade and generating about 7% more power than conventional inverters. Overall system efficiency is increased by 10–12%.

The Kerns received their first electric bill after going solar and it showed a 65% saving! The Kern’s solar system will provide free energy from the sun for many years while insulating them from future rate increases.
